There are many reasons for this, including physical and emotional stress from our ever increasing busy schedules, leaving less relationship and family time and our insatiable desire to be connected with others via technology.
While it’s quite common to have a reduced frequency in sex after a few years of being in a long term relationship, sex continuously plays an important part in any relationship.
Sex is important on many levels because:
It increases your self-esteem and overall well-being
It re-establishes your relationship bond very time you have sex.
It helps you to feel safe and secure.
It’s a natural mood enhancer and antidepressant
It allows you to relax, open up and confidentially trust your partner.
How you revive your sex life with your partner
There’s no rule on how often couples should be having sex. It’s about talking and working out together what’s going work for you both and your lifestyle.
Some couples are fine with once a week, others once a month and others need more frequent intimacy.
John Gottman PHD, famous couple’s researcher says “every positive thing you do in your relationship is foreplay”, so if you can be more aware and develop this mind-set, then this may help you prepare the ground for more opportunities for sex.
Attempt to go to bed at the same time and get out of bed at the same time, so you’re on the same schedule.
If you can’t go to bed together, go tuck in the other partner in- this is a good opportunity to increase connection.
Leave the technology out of the bedroom.
Schedule non-sexual touching, cuddling and talk about what’s going on in your life.
Do positive things for your partner without asking, so there is more time for the two of you.
Even when life is so busy and demanding, it’s really important to plan in ‘connection time’.
This very important connection time is often pre- cursor to having more sex, because it increases your connection and increases your sense of safety and care in the relationship.

We’re offering Neighbourly members a 2 for 1 deal on our Mobiliser which helps relieve back, shoulder and neck pain.
The Mobiliser is a flat bed with rollers that run up your spine and gently push you out of a hunched position; this stretches your spine's connective tissue and relieves pain. The Mobiliser is a treatment that’s been tested and approved by the British Military.

Lots of native bush on my property, only 3 houses down from Sweetacres, never used to be Sweetaceares (only farmland). Literally have had colonies of cats. Named the original 'Ma Kettle'. Because she had liitters upon litters. I was very uneducated, thought it was cute a cat having kittens. But once it got to 23-33 felines, it was ridiculous. Got the SPCA involved. But also an equal amount of domestic cats strayin onto my property. Did go door knocking , never found owners, so got SPCA to pick them up. If I knew who they belonged to I would've returned them. Would never want that to happen to me. So if we could recognise cats (or any other pets) we could notify each other. So have tried creating a FB page. Only have an IPhone. So have created a FB page ' Belmont Pets'. I hope it works out. It distresses me pets lost and no-one knowing who they belong to.
To anyone who can help? I am looking 8-10 wooden untreated pallets . Can arrange to pick up. Tel./ txt. 0210713602

Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.

We found out that some participants have some pretty wacky costume ideas like; ‘Donald Trump', ‘an inflatable flamingo’ a ‘popcorn vendor’ and ‘grumpy grannies’. Comment below with what you'll be dressing up as this year!
